The Toronto Raptors have been in decent shape, as they’ve won six of their last 10 games overall.

Scottie Barnes led the team with 26 points on 12 of 25 shooting, Ochai Agbaji added 24 points on nine of 12 shooting, while AJ Lawson chipped in with 12 points and 10 rebounds off the bench.

The Raptors trailed in this one by as many as 38 points before they poured in 35 points in the fourth quarter to keep the final margin somewhat respectable.

Spurs vs Raptors Prediction
The Raptors are still missing a bunch of players including RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl, while the Spurs are still without Victor Wembenyama, De’Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson. You really couldn’t back either side with any confidence these days, but the Raptors haven’t been too success with their tanking tactics over the past 10 games, as they’ve won their last six. So, I will back the Raptors with the points in this one.
